UltraPulse CO2 Laser

The UltraPulse® CO2 fractional laser offers transformative wrinkle and scar reduction without surgery. This advanced carbon dioxide platform offers ablative laser skin resurfacing with unprecedented flexibility in treatment intensity and significantly faster healing. At her practice in Austin, Texas, Dr. Daniela Atencio expertly utilizes the versatile technology of UltraPulse CO2 to meet the unique skin rejuvenation goals of each patient with optimal results.

Understanding Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatment Types

Early laser skin treatments were limited in their candidate compatibility. Technical advancements have made laser skin resurfacing suitable for a wider range of skin types and color tones. Whether the energy type is CO2, light or heat based, consulting with an experienced laser specialist will determine appropriate application method from the following primary categories.

Non-Ablative Lasers: Heat the skin’s deeper layers without damaging the surface, leading to minimal downtime and enhanced collagen production.

Ablative Lasers: Remove the outer layers of skin to significantly improve texture and tone, requiring a longer recovery period.

Sub-Ablative Lasers: Offer a balance between mild and intensive skin resurfacing. They partially remove the outer skin layer while heating the underlying layers, stimulating collagen production, and improving texture and tone. Ideal for those seeking noticeable results with minimal downtime, these lasers are suited for treating mild to moderate skin concerns efficiently.

Fractional Lasers: Target only a fraction of the skin at a time, creating micro-damage that heals quickly and promotes natural rejuvenation.

Non-Fractional Lasers: Sometimes referred to as a laser peel, this method involves lasering all the skin surface in a treatment zone, offering more intensive results, but with extended recovery times.

Am I a Candidate for UltraPulse CO2?

A pre-treatment assessment and consultation with Dr. Atencio is needed to ensure your health history and skin tone color are compatible with treatment. UltraPulse CO2 laser treatments are suitable for a wide range of skin types and color tones, however darker skin tones may require more specific pre-treatment and post treatment care.

What to Expect During UltraPulse CO2 Treatment

During an UltraPulse session, patients commonly experience sensations of warmth and tingling that are diminished with a topical cooling gel. The adjustable settings not only allow for optimal improvement among different skin concerns, but they also enable a faster and more comfortable experience overall.

What Is Recovery Like Following UltraPulse?

Recovery time following an UltraPulse laser depends on the intensity of treatment and healing time can vary among treatment areas. The skin assessment conducted during your consultation will allow Dr. Atencio to discuss in more specific detail the anticipated healing time and required after-care. Results can be seen as the skin begins to heal, with optimal outcomes visible after several weeks as new collagen forms and skin continues to improve in texture and tone.
